Expert reviews and ratings

Lenovo has done little more with the ThinkPad X1 Carbon 6th Gen than keep it up to date with processor and screen upgrades. It would have been good to see some size and/or weight shaved off, and for the screen bezels to slim down. It's also time to...

The Lenovo X1 Carbon was always designed to be the lightest, most compact Lenovo X1 laptop. It is a fantastic ultra-light and ultra-durable business computer for busy professionals who want a care-free computer that can just work even with a brutal...

The ThinkPad X1 Carbon 6h Gen is the ultimate business notebook. You get a slim, light design with soft touch finish and all the power you need in a business notebook with long battery life and rapid charging.

ThinkPad X1 Carbon is the iconic ThinkPad in its slimmest (I don't know how on earth they make it even more slimmer each year) yet sturdiest form factor. This work of engineering art has the best of Design, Display, Processing Power and Connectivity. It doesn't matter if you work for an enterprise or not you will fall in love with it just like the IT guys drool over it.

The latest Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon is the best iteration of the iconic laptop thus far. It has everything you would need in a thin and light laptop and more. The higher price tag may not suit everyone but if you have that kind of money, this is a worthy, dependable option for both consumer and commercial customers.

I wouldn’t recommend it for the average consumer, student, creative professional, or road warrior; it’s too expensive, there are too many configurations, and the battery life just isn’t good enough for those needs. But for someone that only cares about using it for productivity work, and perhaps has an employer footing the bill, it’s hard to think of a better computer for the job.

If you're looking for a thin and light laptop, this is it. Considering that it has a 14-inch display, the weight of this laptop seems unreal. However, if you're looking for a convertible that you can use a tablet, you'll want to check out the ThinkPad X1 Yoga. We'll be reviewing that next, so make sure to check back soon.

With its tough build quality, industrial yet sexy design, versatile I/O options, and lightweight portability, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 6th Gen is an ideal business ultrabook for those always on the run. This is why it not only earned a Best of CES award from us but also wins a Top Pick Award for 2018.

All told, the culmination of last year's chassis refinements, a great Intel Kaby Lake R platform upgrade, a few thoughtful tweaks like its web cam shutter, good battery life and a killer HDR display, makes the ThinkPad X1 Carbon 6th Gen laptop easily one of our favorite business-class laptops on the market currently.

Devindra Hardawar/EngadgetWhile the ThinkPad Carbon X1 isn't a huge evolution over last year's model, Lenovo packed in enough upgrades to keep the line in step with modern ultraportables. Unfortunately, you'll have to go beyond the entry-level model to...

The Lenovo Carbon X1 is aimed at the business user. More than that, it could also provide a student or photographer on the move with a very well-equipped unit.With its 8th Generation Intel Quad Core CPUs and 16GB of LPDDR3 RAM, the 6th Generation X1...
